Hidden pantry
"We cook for 20 on a 30-ft island that used to be a loading dock. The bricks still smell like 1906, the beams carry scars like tattoos, and every dinner party ends with guests lying on the concrete staring up at the skyline. This isn’t a loft—it’s the city’s living room, and we’re just the hosts."Luca & Amara Rossi• West Loop, Chicago
